Description

A true weather app for kids designed by a 6 year old boy (and his meteorologist dad). Power packed with real time weather conditions, forecasts, science and fun facts about the weather, plus it is interactive making it fun for the kids. This includes math and science with S.T.E.M in mind to make parents and teachers happy as well.

FEATURES -An eye-catching display of the weather with a kid or animal avatar that is dressed for conditions and short term forecasts. Use your hometown or pick a new location to track. -Change your avatar and make the animals either a boy or a girl. *Wear? This interactive feature lets you change the weather on your own when it might be boring outside. Raise or lower the temperature, make it sunny, rainy, snowy, or anything in between. See how your avatar will dress in those conditions.

-Educational: Trivia, fun facts, safety tips, and extreme weather records. Learn something new every day of the year. Topics include: Animal Weather, Clouds, Expressions, Extreme Weather, Instruments, Lightning, Nursery Rhymes and Song Lyrics, Rainbows, Sky Color, Seasons, Top US Cities for snow, US State Records, Weather Folklore, Weather Map symbols. -Math: Includes a Fahrenheit to Celsius calculator -Graphing: Plot basic weather conditions and keep track by week and month. A great way to introduce kids to a key element of S.T.E.M graphing

Imagine parents and kids spending 5-10 minutes each evening discussing the weather of the day, plot it on the graph, learn something new, and then figure out how to dress for school the next day. Then double-check the weather again in the morning. Our hope is that Kid Weather will be used by kids and with their parents as a useful tool.

**Our goal is to add more kid and animal avatars and features. Your support will help that happen very soon. We look forward to your feedback.

Weather graph/log not working I was really hoping to use it as a fun way to graph weather for our homeschool but that feature isn't working, even after trying a reinstall. Unfortunately that makes this useless for us.

My son used this a lot when it worked, but it won't open anymore. It doesn't load past the opening screen with the title and picture of the boy and girl. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it which worked once. But the next day it wouldn't load again. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling again, but no luck. I even shut the phone down, but it didn't help. I hope this bug gets fixed soon because it my son really did enjoy it when it worked.

Perfect for my kids I have a 5 and 8 year-old, and they love opening this app every morning to figure out what to wear. Perfect for those stubborn kids who always want to wear the most inappropriate outfits (i.e. snow boots on a 90° day), since it is this cute app telling them what to wear, and not their overbearing Dad. :-)

Needs more things to do. Really love it but would like to see more. Let kids change hair, eyes and skin on avatar to match themselves. Would be neat to have a short tutorial with multiple choice questions at end, helps kids remember what they read. Just a little more interaction and I'll give you a five. I have free a0s that we do loads of stuff on. Paid for this and not much to do. :-(

Children who cannot read yet Really Great for children if reading age. For very young kids, they need someone older to help navigate thru the pages. Especially jumping from current conditions, to later that day. The 'button' to do this is extremely small, even for an adult. And you have to be able to read to know which one you are seeing. When you open the app, it shows you whichever one you last viewed. So even a parent with a young child might have to say 'oops' we need the other page. Please open the app to the current.

Somewhat disappointed! I downloaded this based on a friend's recommendation, but the app never finishes loading. The opening graphic appears and then the "loading" circle spins and spins without ever getting anywhere. I have a Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.2

This was such a disappointment! I thought this would have games and things for them to do and there isn't. You just check the weather and change the avatar's clothes. There are some trivia questions, but they don't interest my 7, 8 & 9 year olds. Waste of money. :-(

Please patch my problem Needing an update/patch for HTC Flyer tablet. This app is not displaying the temperature. However, it does displays the temp. on my HTC EVO phone. It's a fantastic app for my 6 year old daughter. She's very interested in learning about the weather but my MyCast app is a little advanced for her. I think this one would be just right.... if only we could get it to perform properly and display the current temperature. ;)
